Ling's race goes well in Japan, although he didn't win. He and Qi Luo are in a relationship. After Qi Luo's portrait of Ling is hung in a gallery, 2 of Ling's high school friends appear. They hadn't known where he was for 2 years. One of these friends was Ling's ex-girlfriend, Sha Yi who had previously dated Ling's dead brother Sheng before dating him. Ling believes he caused his brother to commit suicide after Sha Yi started dating him instead. Qi Luo is faced with the belief that Sha Yi and Ling would have never separated if it wasn't for Sheng's death.
